| "The Bristol Britannia Story (DVD)" |
| "The full story of arguably the most successful aeroplane ever to be produced in Bristol. In July 1948 the Ministry Of Supply submitted an order for three Bristol 175 type aircraft, following ideas developed by the Brabazon committee. 'Brabazon III' ran in parallel with the ill-fated Brabazon project and eventually became known as Britannia. Its development was riddled with setbacks, as two aircraft were lost in test flights, and there were technical problems with the Bristol Proteus engines. The Filton workforce overcame these hurdles and the Britannia became the first aircraft to carry 100 passengers non-stop both ways across the Atlantic. The story is enhanced by the memories of test pilots Walter Gibb and Godfrey Auty, together with recollections of key personnel who helped to design and build the Britannia. Extensive archive film, illustrating Britannia's promotional tours of the 1950s, and remarkable photographs provide a stunning visual backdrop to this fascinating documentary.

| "Adapted from the popular best-seller, love, laughter, loneliness the struggle against cancer stirs the emotions in this poignant drama based on an true story. Lisa Lynch was 28 when first diagnosed with an aggressive, malignant tumour in her breast. The C Word follows Lisa's journey, and the love and support she received from her devoted husband, Pete, and her family. The diagnosis is unexpected. Recently married and dreamily planning her future, she never imagined that the disease would come to dominate her life. Her only release is to write. What starts off as a blog seen by few steadily becomes a profound inspiration to many from fellow sufferers to those caring for them. And, through it, Lisa comes to realise that her life is not defined by cancer, but by the love she inspires in others.
